How do I search the categories?

Descriptive keywords should be searched for within our google powered search box on the BOOK SEARCH page.
It is necessary when using this to then use the "Find within page" function of your browser menu, to find the searched for item within the catalogue page. You can also use this method for keyword or author or title search.
Also try the link to our rare books database, where we list a different database of rare and/or collectible items.

How do I place an order?

Email us the items title and product code "[#000] or [PB000]" as well as your address, including which country we will be shipping to. It may be easier to cut and paste the listing into an email, e.g.
NOTA BENE, in the email subject line please use the title of one of the books you are interested in, as this helps your message get through my spam filters.
